There’s something about fall that makes smoked food taste even better. Crisp air, football on the TV, friends gathered outside, and the smell of barbecue slowly cooking over charcoal—it’s the perfect season to fire up the Big Green Egg.
Whether you’re planning a game-day party, Sunday dinner, or a relaxing weekend cook, the Big Green Egg makes it easy to turn classic fall favorites into smoky, flavorful meals everyone will remember.
Low & Slow Fall Favorites
Fall is made for “low and slow” cooking. Pork shoulder, beef brisket, ribs, and whole chickens are excellent choices for smoking on the Big Green Egg. Cooking at a lower temperature for several hours allows the smoke to penetrate the food while helping tougher cuts of meat become incredibly tender.
Add wood chunks such as apple, cherry, hickory, or pecan to give your food another layer of flavor. Apple and cherry offer a milder, slightly sweet smoke, while hickory provides a stronger traditional barbecue flavor.
Don’t Forget the Turkey
Thanksgiving will be here before you know it! Smoking your Thanksgiving turkey on the Big Green Egg is a great way to free up valuable oven space—and give your guests something different to talk about.
The Egg’s ceramic design helps retain heat and moisture, making it ideal for cooking a beautifully browned turkey with juicy meat and delicious smoky flavor. Add seasonal herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage for a true fall centerpiece.
Make the Whole Meal Outside
Your Big Green Egg doesn’t have to be reserved for meat. Try smoked mac and cheese, baked beans, roasted vegetables, stuffed peppers, or even potatoes alongside your main dish.
And save room for dessert! Apple crisp, peach cobbler, bread pudding, and other cast-iron desserts can take on an entirely new personality when cooked over charcoal.
